^Yeah, what he said https://www.isabelnet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/SP-500-Operating-EPS-vs.-USA-National-Income-Corporate-Profits.png
Wishing someone luck is a way to tell them to piss off, you're done with them. Also, 2009 was 11 years ago.
Yeah, graduating college and entering the work force into the second worst economy downturn in the history of the United States was super fun and...
Two year LEAPS are what I plan to buy too. Maybe Jan22 1000 or something. On the other hand, Q1 is usually pretty bad and we have the virus...
After making a series of minor (MASSIVE) mistakes, I think my reentry point is fast approaching. Just sucks that option premiums are so expensive...
I know, right. 50% drops and 6-month declines are not un-common for TSLA shareholders. We all know how this ends; it'll pay off in the end.
Yes we have. I was waiting for someone to rub some salt in. No problem though, I already bailed. Thank god for that dip just now. Saved me...
I think I have to get out of my positions tomorrow morning asap, and not risk any margin call jumps and/or analyst upgrades.
I'll sleep on it, but I most likely will abandon my short straddle strategy and take the 150k~ loss. God I wish I wasn't allergic to alcohol and...
Well, this marks 300 dollars since I sold all 59 of my Jan21s calls and started a short straddle. I don't even know what to say or do or think at...
Where did I say I was surprised? It's weird and it's unsettling, yes, but it's not surprising. I'm just looking for some reassurance that...
You need a new accountant. I usually pay around 20% fed+state combined.
I'll end up with 250k minus the cost of whatever adjustments I have to make, in theory. It's just weird seeing the account's value drop so hard,...
Thanks, I understand that, but that's not my question. If I continue to re-adjust my strikes, they will stay at the money. Re-adjusting costs...
Does anyone know what happens to a short strangle if the SP keeps going up like this as it approaches expiration? My account keeps going down (of...
I think I've only had 1 green day since I started my short strangle earlier last week. It's just silly.
Man you guys are really messing with my short strangle strategy. Grats long, but try to keep the price steady for a few weeks, thanks.
I changed up my strategy a little. The problem with my previous strategy was that, if the stock were to go down, I would lose a substantial part...
I currently am holding only options. I think there is enough juice for Jan21 400s to hit 50 within the month so I'm holding out for that. News...
I understand what you're saying, and my 59 call options prove that I believe in the company, but man I've been burnt so many times before. Early...
Thanks I guess. Sorry if it sounds elementary. Between the youtube videos, articles I've read and other forums that I've asked, they all...
Feel free to roast me over this. My excitement will drown out the noise. Quick summary, using call options, I took 55k to 250k, back down to 45k...
I do not understand why people like to make these idiotic assumptions. None of that can be extracted from my post. I don't get it. What do you...
Well that's two people who assumed I don't know what I poured a quarter million dollars into. Do we see three.
God. Earlier this year, I bought a quarter million dollar's worth of TSLA Jan21. It's down to 5 digits now. I keep waiting for it to recover,...
I'm starting to wonder if, even if Tesla exceeds selling 1m/year, if Musk's insistence on growth over profits will keep the stock price stagnant....
GG my 400 Jan21. Looks like hitting break even by 2020 isn't going to happen.
Two girls, or guys, at once.
No smiles until 300. No happy smiles until 350.
I always bothers me how with certain people you can't appeal to their intellect and convince them with just data and seeing where the experts lay....
Good day. Only need to do this 5 more times for me to break even.. Maybe 6, given the time decay on my leaps.
The SP has dropped about 100 dollars since I bought those Jan21 leaps, do I get a prize yet? I always think back to that Jeff Bezos interview, in...
While we're in the mood to share family stories, my mom told me the other day that she 'heard on the news' that someone got locked in their Tesla...
I think Elon does it on purpose sometimes as somewhat of a cross between a challenge and a game. Kinda like his attitude towards traditional...
I'm waiting for him to downgrade to 9.50, then 9.00 the next week, then 8.50, just so they can make a headline out of it.
According to nasdaq.com 17:07:11 $ 176.9142 Low 1,008 Could still be an error, but otherwise, someone dumped 1k shares. It immediately bounced...
And the sooner the better. Theta has probably already taken a good chunk. Maybe once this is all over, I'll switch to selling puts instead.
Nope, all Jan21 call options, so if it rebounds, I'll be ok. But I like to expect the worst. Only thing that bothers me is that there's no way...
Well I'm already down around 200k, or 80% of my net worth. Might as well lose the rest of it.
So, who's going to downgrade tomorrow? There is no bottom to this thing. Another 12 dollars or so and we'll be back to where TT007 liquidated...
Quickly approaching three years or pre-tax salary. I'm completely out of money and will barely have enough to scrap by the next few months. The...
I'll feel better again once I make back the two year's worth of pre-tax salary I lost in April.
Well, can't say I'm not panicking, but I'd feel a lot better if I was in stock and not 100% in call options. Luckily, they're Jan21s, but still.
You, good sir. I like you. I'm following a similar path myself. I took an M3's worth of money and threw it at TSLA. As of last March, I had...
Gonna stop looking at my portfolio for awhile, for my health and well being.
Sigh, no relief for my 400 Jan21s
Man, wish I was better at buying options. The stock has only lost 4.5% since I bought in, but Jan21 call options have loss 25% of their value.
-60k today, who has me beat?
Yup, about a quarter of my portfolio down the pooper 30 minutes when that was announced. I haven't been hurt that bad in a long time.
400 Jan2021. The options calculator I use says they should be around 40, but currently selling at 37. I've been using that calculator for awhile...
